Marlon stared at me with his angry black eyes and said,
"What do you mean?"
I smile at Marlon.
"You've cut me off from my thoughts. How do you think what I mean!"
My eyes fell on Alicia behind Marlon. I wore a smile.
"Of course I wish you two a happy life!"
I snorted mockingly and turned to leave.
Marlon yanked me back with force that I slammed right into his hard chest. I tried to push his away, but he had surprising strength and it hurt as if my wrist had broken.
"Marlon, I think you got the wrong person. Your beloved fiancée is behind you, not me. Let go of me lest I get your hands dirty!"
Before I could finish my words, he held my wrist more tightly. It hurt so much.
Marlon stared at me. His dark eyes were burning with angry fire, as if to devour me. My heart ached. I felt funny and sad. He was angry for a while, and I naively thought that he loved me. But the fact proved again and again that Marlon only hated me.
He was deeply in love with Alicia.
"Marlon, I will remove you from my world and consider you have never showed up!"
"Rachael!"
Before I could finish my sentence, Marlon shouted my name angrily.
“Ah!”
I looked into his eyes and was silent, expecting his words, but Alicia suddenly gave a short scream and fainted on the ground. Marlon pushed me away and anxiously picked up Alicia on the ground to check what was going on with her.
My body was pushed into the stone pillar behind me. I was painful, but I did not move. Marlon anxiously picked up Alicia to the car and left. I had never seen his anxious face, which was like a knife stabbing in my heart.
It hurt.
Looking at the car disappear, all I could do was to smile miserably and self-deprecatingly. I should not have expected.
Tears fell down from my eyes, and I slapped my face hard trying to stop that.
"Rachael, you can't cry, you can't cry again for Marlon, absolutely not!"
But the tears were falling down, so I hit myself hard again. Yeah, what was worth crying for? Alicia pretended to faint obviously, but Marlon was anxious. What was I crying for?
I raised my head, looked in the direction of the long-lost car and turned back to Universal Group.
But as soon as I entered the office, people throughout the office stared at me with a strange look and hid the things in their hands, as if I would steal them if they didn't.
Suddenly, a sense of foreboding pervaded. People around looked at me and murmured.
"I can't believe she stole things. What a disgrace to Universal Group!"
"And she suddenly replaced the position of Ms. Everly!
I heard she shamelessly went to be Mr. Charles's pet in order to get into Universal Group!"
"It's disgusting enough to look at her. She pretended to be nice, but she actually is the most disgusting one!"
I looked around at my colleagues brightly disliking me without any consideration for my feelings, and I just went back to my own seat in silence.
"Mr. Charles is here, Mr. Charles is here!"
